Logan tried everything he could, but in the end there was simply no way for him to refuse Xu Dan. With no other choice, he finally compromised.
Sure enough, the man Qin Gray cared about truly had real ability.
But Logan had no intention of giving up. Today's compromise was only for the sake of a greater future.
"One day, I'll defeat you!"
Xu Dan looked at Uncle Wolf with amusement. He had always thought Wolverine was just feral and hot-headed, but now he found him inexplicably silly—and even a little cute, like a stubborn wolf cub.
"Alright," Xu Dan said with a smile. "I'll be waiting."
At that moment, a blue figure walked over, followed by a group of noisy children.
It was Hank—the Beast—Xu Dan's former collaborator.
Xu Dan had always acknowledged Hank's talent. Unfortunately, in a society that discriminated against mutants, someone with Hank's appearance was rarely given the opportunity to fully display his abilities.
Beast Hank walked up, glanced at Xu Dan and Wolverine, and asked hesitantly,"I just heard something… Are you planning to borrow Logan for experiments? Man, you know that's illegal, right? Whether he's—"
Before Xu Dan could respond, Logan's temper exploded.
"That's enough! What does my business have to do with you? I already agreed to it! Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!"
"Uh… Logan, actually, I'm not worried about you," Hank replied awkwardly. "After all, you can't really die again. I was more worried about Xu Dan—afraid he might end up doing something illegal."
"..."
An awkward silence followed.
Logan's face turned dark. His adamantium claws extended involuntarily, as if he were seconds away from chopping Hank on the spot.
Seeing this, Xu Dan quickly stepped in to smooth things over. After all, Hank meant well.
"Alright, Logan. Hank. That's enough."
The tension eased slightly. Then Hank asked again, curiosity getting the better of him.
"So… what kind of experiment are you planning? Why Logan? It won't be something too—"
As a researcher, Hank had his bottom line. Certain overly twisted experiments—like those infamous secret projects conducted in some island nations—were utterly unacceptable.
Xu Dan smiled.
Virtual games weren't classified secrets.
And with so many people present, this was actually a good chance to build momentum.
After all, holographic technology still hadn't become widespread. If a virtual game suddenly appeared without warning, it would only confuse people.
Rather than that, it was better to let rumors spread naturally—Antarctica is developing a new game. Something special this time…
"After building the virtual training room last time, I got inspired," Xu Dan explained calmly."I started thinking about applying virtual technology to games. But the game I'm developing isn't like your training room. It directly connects human neurons to equipment, projecting a person's consciousness into a virtual world. That's roughly the idea."
"This…"
Even Hank, the Beast, was stunned into silence.
Wolverine, the so-called big boss, was completely dumbfounded.
And the students nearby, who only vaguely caught bits and pieces of the conversation, were utterly lost.
Virtual training room? Neurons? Consciousness entering a virtual world?
It sounded impossibly profound.
Knowledge at this level felt centuries ahead of its time.
Among the crowd, the Firestarter from last time vividly remembered Xu Dan's godlike performance in World of Warcraft. While ordinary players were still grinding levels, this man had already been riding Deathwing across the world.
Back then, everyone thought he was just a gaming prodigy—or a ridiculously rich boss.
But now, hearing these concepts, they realized something terrifying.
This man wasn't just rich.
His knowledge rivaled that of Professor X himself.
Admiration welled up in their hearts as the students looked at this mysterious adult with pure awe.
After a long while, Hank finally recovered.
He stared at Xu Dan as if he were looking at some kind of monster.
"My God… do you even realize what you're doing?" Hank exclaimed. "You've already reached this level of technology?! I've thought about this concept before, but for countless reasons, I could only manage a virtual training room. And you've already developed it? Why didn't you tell me—sorry, sorry, I got carried away. Um… may I ask, how far along are you now?"
Xu Dan looked at Hank, who was practically bouncing with excitement, and replied flatly,"If I'm inviting people to participate in experiments, what do you think?"
"Oh my God!" Hank froze. "It's already done?!"
Others didn't fully grasp the implications, but Hank understood exactly how revolutionary this technology was.
"C-can I come along to see it?" he asked eagerly.
"Not yet," Xu Dan replied. "It's still in the experimental phase. Success isn't guaranteed. Once the game is completely finished, you'll see it naturally."
Hank nodded in disappointment.
As a researcher, failing to develop a technology that someone else had already completed was a bitter irony.
Xu Dan said his goodbyes and walked toward the outskirts of Xavier's Academy with Logan.
When Logan got into the car, the vehicle noticeably sank.
Covered head to toe in adamantium, Wolverine was naturally heavy.
This extra weight would definitely affect Xu Dan's drifting speed.
...
They drove to Brooklyn and stopped in front of Antarctica Biotechnology.
Stepping out of the car, Logan looked up at the towering building and the familiar logo. After a moment, he glanced sideways at Xu Dan.
"This company is yours too?"
"Not mine," Xu Dan replied.
"That's good."
"It belongs to my company."
"..."
Logan fell completely silent.
Dealing with someone like this was genuinely uncomfortable.
And that was only the beginning.
The moment he stepped into Antarctica Biotechnology, his wolf-like instincts screamed.
Every hair on his body stood on end.
In this seemingly empty building, he felt fear.
Something was very wrong here.
What exactly was hidden inside?
He had no idea.
Under Xu Dan's lead, Logan followed them upstairs.
When the elevator doors opened, a small red figure suddenly appeared in front of them like a ghost.
Logan was startled.
Shnk!
His claws burst out instantly.
The feral wolf was on edge.
The Red Queen casually glanced at Logan's claws, then asked indifferently,"Master, is this the experimental subject? He looks different from ordinary humans. I wonder what effect injecting him with the T-virus would have?"
The moment Logan heard the word "virus," his face changed instantly.
